Speaker 1 (00:22):
It's later with bo Kelly can't I am six forty.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And I gotta
tell you, as a lifelong Dodger fan, today has been
something special. My earliest memories of falling in love with
professional sports are inextricably linked to all things Dodgers. My
(00:44):
dad's sending me down explaining the rules of the game,
telling me about the glorious history of Dodger baseball, the
greats from Sandy Kofax, Roy Campanella, Duke Snyder on down
the line, and I remember growing up, It's like, why
is it the Dodgers had never had I was thinking
(01:06):
of this as a child because I was a stat
nerd and geek back then. Why the Dodgers never had
a great home run hitter the likes of a Babe
Ruth or a Roger Maris, someone who had hit at
least fifty home runs. Nobody had hit fifty home runs
for the Dodgers. Duke Snyder was the closest, but no
one wearing Dodger blue could hit fifty home runs. And
(01:31):
as I got older, I understood the intricacies and the
nuances of the game. Dodgers Stadium was not a hitters ballpark,
but it was a pitchers ballpark. It was better for
pitchers than it was hitters, and it was less likely
that someone playing for the Dodgers was ever going to
hit fifty home runs. That's just fifty home runs. That
(01:53):
has nothing to do with fifty stolen bases. Now, the
Dodgers have had some great base dealers over the years.
I remember Davey Lopes one of my favorite players. It
was Maury Wills and others. Dodgers had some speedsters on
the bass paths, but they'd never had someone like show
Hey Otani who had power and speed and could do
(02:17):
it all basically. And when Sho hal Tani came into
Major League Baseball playing for the Angels, it was unheard
of someone who was going to be a position player
and a pitcher. Now there might have been players who
had the ability, but it wasn't done in Major League Baseball.
You did one, or you did the other, or in
(02:38):
an emergency situation, they would use a position player to
fill in as a pitcher at the end of the
game because they had run out of pitchers. You see
it today all the time, but nobody has ever played
the game like sho hal Tani. In the modern version
of baseball, of course, they are players like Babe Ruth,
who is a pitcher as well as a hitter, but
(03:00):
that's not considered the modern version of baseball.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
In today's game.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And sho hel Tani was, the discussion was whether he
might be able to be the first player in Major
League baseball history to hit fifty home runs and swap
excuse me, steal fifty bases in the same season. Now
each feat singularly is pretty damn impressive. You have fifty
(03:28):
home runs in one season, steal fifty bases in one season.
And the game has evolved where it's not like it
used to be in the seventies and eighties, when you
had like Ricky Henderson and the goal was to maybe bunt,
hit a single and then steal second. Maybe a fields
choice gets you a third, and then a fly ball
(03:49):
sacrifice fly would get you home. Now the game has changed.
It's all about the long ball, so stolen bases were
less of a focus in the past ten twenty years
in Major League baseball. But then you have these generational
talents like shoe Heo Tani, who basically said no, what no,
I'm going to be I'm going to be adapted home
(04:11):
runs and stolen bases. And today we're in the same
building as a five seventy LA Sports, our partner station,
and so we were following this as it was happening,
getting the Dodgers feed. We could hear it in the hallways,
and all of a sudden, the place just erupted because
it wasn't thought that sho Hao Tani was going to
(04:33):
get fifty home runs and fifty stolen bases, if at
all he wasn't going to do it in this game
against the Miami Marlins. He was going to get it
maybe or hopefully, actually you want to do it in
front of the home fans, but.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Sho Hey couldn't wait.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
And there was this moment and people just shrieked with glee.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
One ball, two strikes, runner at third, two outs, and
the pitch counting to show hey, ol Tani, Hey swings
hits a drive to lap.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
This ball's back there.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
It is fifty, the first player in my history of
Major League Baseball to have a fifty to fifty season.
He is incredible. Show hey, old Tony with an opposite
field home run fifty fifty one a day for shaw Hey.
(05:26):
He is the new all time single season home runs
leader for the Dodgers, in the first ever Dodger with
a fifty home run season. Show Hey, oh, Tani is incredible.
He is one of a kind.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
The only difference is when I was growing up, I
was listening to Vince Scully and there's no one like
Vince Scully. So I'm not going to compare anyone to
vin Scully. But I know in a moment like this,
Vincent Scully would have let the crowd tell the story.
Vince Gully would have said fewer words, not more. But
(06:08):
that's just my personal preference. It still was a tremendous moment.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Standing ovation everywhere. He's barely made it through the dugout,
yet with all the congratulations he's getting that ball went
over the left field fence to the right of the bullpens.
Somebody's got it out there.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
They're going to hold up the game.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Best Rick Monday fifty fifty. Did you ever think you'd
see this from one player? Holy smokes. And by the way,
it's fourteen to three and show Hey comes out for
a curtain call first time this year and the game
(06:53):
being held up everybody, Marlin's fans, Dodgers fans, witnessing history here.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And the strange thing was one of the many strange
things that wasn't I would say the apex of the day.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
He hit another home run after that for number fifty one.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
In fact, he's at fifty one home runs, fifty one
stolen bases. And there's enough time left in the season
now where the real conversation has already begun whether he
could be a fifty five fifty five player, fifty five
home runs, fifty five stolen bases. It was baseball history,
it was American history, it was Dodger history all wrapped
(07:33):
up in one moment today. And if you are a
baseball fan, if you are a Dodger fan, this was
a tremendous moment in franchise history and also fandom history.
Congratulations to the Dodgers and Shohil Tani. Now just bring
home a world serious please, That's all I ask. It's
Later with mo Kelly. Can if I am six forty
(07:54):
one live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFIM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Last school term, I would say most universities got it wrong.
They did not know how to handle the gods of
protests or the retalite retaliation to the protest. They didn't
know how to handle the encampments. They didn't understand how
to navigate the free speech debate on a private campus.
(08:24):
And for the most part, most of the universities messed
it up. They escalated the situation or they made it
into a situation that they could not handle. Law enforcement
was called in sometimes or for some with a heavy
handed response. For others, they thought that law enforcement was
(08:44):
too patient and allowed the encampments to remain for too long.
And then it got a number of universities realizing that
there had to be a policy in place as far
as what the university response would be, what the discipline
for students who violate the policy would be, how professors
(09:06):
and university staff are supposed to comport themselves, whether they're
going to be allowed to participate in the protests. All
of that needs to be made clear up front. Because
the war in the Middle East is expanding, school is
now back in session and they're most likely will be
(09:27):
more student protests this year. Stanford said, well, let's get
out in front of this, and this is what Stanford
has chosen to do.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Stanford University is welcoming students back to campus.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
With the start of the school year comes.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
New and clear rules on speech and events. Last spring,
pro Palestinian encampments went up sporadically amid the Israel Hamas War.
The contentious time led to student arrests, barricades, and graffiti
on several buildings. On Tuesday, Stanford released what are called
all the Freedom of Expression policies. Unauthorized tends will be prohibited.
(10:05):
Students concealing their face maybe asked to identify themselves by
a university official. In a video, the provost explains other
disruption policies.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
A provocative poster may be okay in some places around campus,
but not placed on the personal residence store of an
individual targeted by that speech.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
White Plaza has long served as a place for student gatherings.
This is where we saw the encampments set up. Stanford's
new president is vowing to enforce the no camping policy,
which was already in place last term.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
This is the problem with how colleges and universities have
approached the challenges of policing free expression to the extent
they are allowed to. Is that it's inconsistently enforced. So
what you get are double standards.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Nico Pirino is with.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
No, I disagree with that. It's not that it's inconsistently enforced.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
It's just that there was no established and public policy
and guidelines for both students and faculty to follow. If
everyone knows what the rules are when you violate them,
and you know the penalty, then you can handle it accordingly.
You don't have to agree with the protesters, you don't
have to agree with anything, you don't have to even
(11:14):
take a side in any issue. And if you look
deeper into the Stanford policy, they're saying that the school,
the administration, the university is not going to take any
sides and future disagreements. That's fine, so long as everyone
knows that's the expectation.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
And this is what people forget.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Free speech has nothing to do with what you can
do or allowed to do on a college campus. It
is a private When I say private, in other words,
it's not like a public space. You know, these universities
to have money from outside private interests. You can't just
camp there, you can't set up shop there, you can't
(11:55):
do what you want when you want, because you happen
to pay tuition there.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
It's really simple.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
But I think they gave the students too much latitude
with the encampments. Now there was a place and space
they could have had a respectful debate about it. But
when the encamps when the encampments popped up, and they
did not do anything about them, then they were forced
into a position where you can't remove them now because
you let them stay for a week. Now they're saying
(12:24):
that they're not going to let them stay at all.
Regardless of whether you agree with the issue or disagree
with how Israel is handling the fighting in the Middle East,
how you protest is separate and distinct from that, And
if you are willing to lose your college education, then
(12:46):
do you. But you don't have a constitutional right to
set up a camp. You don't have a constitutional right
to disrupt classes. You don't have a constitutional right to
be heard on an issue in a way that you
think you should be heard, be that barricading.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
A mess hall.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Or a classroom, or forcing an administration to listen to
your demands, or even making those demands. You can try,
but you don't have a constitutional right now where it
goes from here is you will find different universities having
I think the wherewithal to have these policies in place,
because there will be more protests this year now that
(13:31):
it may not be before the Christmas holidays. It depends
if something happens again in the near future. We know
that the one year commemoration, not to be confused with
an anniversary, but the commemoration of the Hamas attacks of
October seventh are coming up soon and you may see
some activity then. But it would behoove these universities, these
(13:52):
colleges to have a plan in place in advance of
future encampments so they don't make the same I would
say mistakes this time around.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I love looking at the face of Mark Ronner.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
You just said the word behoove, which officially marks you
as a member of the authority figure class.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
It would behoof of them. Yes, yes, Look, I.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Am going to side with the administration in the sense
that when I say administration, university administration.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
They have to protect their interests.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
They have to protect their campus, they have to protect
the students which are on campus, they have to protect
their endowment. All those things are part of the equation.
Of how they have to manage these protests, and by
and large they mess them up. It's not about whether
you agree with them, it's about how I thought they
were shortsighted in how they should handle them. And also
(14:46):
I had a criticism of those who were protesting because
they were protesting with no real, realizable goal, no real
method of obtaining that goal, and simply camping out on
the universe lawn was not going to bring about the
desired change. It was not going to change US foreign
policy in the Middle East.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
Well, didn't they get some changes that they wanted at
assorted campuses, which largely consisted of the universities divesting from
investments that the students found effective.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I think Occidental said something to the effect of, we
will bring in the students and hear their concerns or
give them, I don't know, some lip services, something something
something I don't know if by and large any universities divested.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
You know, it makes me think of like what would
you and I have done if we were college aged
during Vietnam, because there were protests everywhere.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Then.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
You ever see an old Elliott Gould movie called Getting Straight,
where he's a grad student amid all the campus protests.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I think I saw, but I wouldn't remember.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
It's a terrific movie and if you can find it
streaming online, it is well worth your time to watch.
The guy basically just wants to get his dissertation and
defend his dissertation done and be above the fray, and
he finds out the lesson that we all learned sooner
or late in life, which is that you're in the fight,
whether you think you are or not. It's very worth watching,
and I think it has lessons that you could apply
(16:06):
to this situation.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I agree there are some fights that you cannot avoid,
But just because you can't avoid a fight, it doesn't
mean that you shouldn't have a strategy going into the fight.
Just because you may, in your mind at least feel
that you have the moral authority in the stance that
you're taking, it does not mean that the steps that
you're employing, the tactics that you're using, are either going
(16:29):
to get you closer to that goal, or are going
to engender any support from those outside.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Of your ranks.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Of course not, but can you think of any time
when everybody approved the methods of someone's protest.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It just doesn't exist. It's always going to make somebody angry.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
No, no, no, Well, there's a difference between making someone angry,
well you know what, and also being effective as far
as getting you to your eventual goal. And I always
use the Civil rights movement as an example. Yes, the
marches were going to make people angry in the nineteen sixties,
but also the marches were away to see how nonviolence
(17:06):
retained the moral authority in the ask for the passage
of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
Now from attack from a tactics standpoint, you could say
you should not have done nonviolence. Violence was being perpetrated
against black people. You should have responded with violence, but
you would have not received the ground swell of support
(17:29):
from those around the country outside the African American community
if violence was employed. And that's why doctor King said,
we must retain the moral authority in our tactics in
how we approach this and how we pursue it.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
And he was brilliant for that. Protests are always supposed
to be disruptive, though, and having covered them riots as
well as protests as well as the police response, it's
kind of a it's a nuanced issue because nobody neither
side behaves as well as you would like them to behave.
So there's always some jerk and jerk contingent among the
(18:05):
protesters who's going to smash a Starbucks window and give
the whole movement a bad name. And there's always going
to be and I say this as somebody who's been
shot with more rubber bullets than any reporter. You know,
there's always going to be police who overreact with the force.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, but this is a very important distinction. It's not
about protesting whether you piss people off. It's not about
whether someone likes the method of protests. It's about whether
protests helps you get closer to that goal, assuming you
have a state of goal, or whether it gets in
the way you and people lose sight of the goal
because the protest itself has turned off so many people
(18:38):
that it becomes ineffective. Now, Doctor King also said that
the riot is the language of the unheard. He acknowledged
that many ways that the riot can bring about change
in the ways that sometimes diplomacy my word can't.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
I know, we're over. But this was very important.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
If you go back to the assassination of doctor King,
it was because of the assassination of doctor King in
nineteen sixty eight and the riots which happened immediately thereafter.
That Congress felt compelled to pass and Johnson's sign the
Fair Housing Act because they thought that the country could
not continue on that path. And it was it was
(19:16):
a moment of urgency with the murder and assassination of
King and those riots, it had to be done. So, yes,
it's a complicated issue, and there's not one size that
fits all, and there's not one way that's going to
bring about change.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
But all these things have to be mindful.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
You have to be mindful of all these things as
you're pursuing these protests.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I wanted you to use the word behoove again and
you didn't.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Well, it would behoove you not to mock me or
I will yes Yes Later with mo Kelly I AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
We're live everywhere near I Heart Radio app.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
And you've probably heard me and Mark Ronner go back
and forth about digital misinformation disinformation AI deep fakes and
how that could have a disproportionate impact on this presidential election.
Any election for that matter, or just how we may
(20:13):
receive news or perceive what is the truth or facts
in our day to day world. And Governor Gavin Newsom
earlier this week signed three different bills into law regarding
AI and deep fakes. The first one is going to
ban digitally altered political deep fakes. The second one that
(20:37):
he signed targets deep fakes by compelling platforms to pull
down such content when users flag them, but that bill
won't take effect into until next year. And he signed
a third measure requiring disclaimers on political ads that use AI.
But the first and arguably the most important one, which
(21:00):
bands digitally altered political deep fakes, will take place and
going to effect before this November election. And in a
bit of political theater, he signed them publicly as part
of a conversation with Salesforce CEO Mark Vidioff. He had
(21:21):
the bills on his lap, was it even a desk
or a table was on his lap and he signed
them in his lap in front of an audience.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Here's some of that audio.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
HEYI I was.
Speaker 9 (21:31):
Just exploded in our consciousness. You know, I'm not lost
on being at thirty two of the top fifty AI
companies at least market CAPRAOL here in California, truly trust
the stress, anxiety, promise perrol. All of it just sort
of dominating our consciousness.
Speaker 10 (21:48):
And right now for me, I got nine and eighty
one bills on my desk, and about thirty eight of
them are.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
In this space.
Speaker 10 (21:57):
There are a lot of defects out there. There's not
a lot of this closure, there's not a lot of label.
So among the many AI bills that are on the
desk are three specific election related bills.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You know, I want to sign some lawns.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
And I don't remember I did start.
Speaker 10 (22:14):
You know, why waste your time of the politician unless
they're going to do something for you.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Two are signed and them three are sign and this
is now.
Speaker 10 (22:24):
I'm official. That is now and jumped and belief if
you do any of those deep fake election misrepresentations. So
that's how easy it is to govern.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
And governing is one thing, but the actual practical application
of the laws that remains to be seen. I don't
know how impactful, how effective it would be, given the
proliferation of deep fakes on all social media platforms. Yes,
I can point to X, but I can also point
to TikTok. I can point to Facebook. I can definitely
(22:56):
point to Instagram. I don't know the starting point. It's
one thing where you have this legislation where it says
that you're supposed to pull it down if it's confirmed
that it's misinformation. But who's actually going to enforce that.
What's the enforcement mechanism. That's what I don't understand. And
that's what I don't know's it's one thing you're gonna say, hey,
(23:16):
Elon Musk, you have to take down that Taylor Swift
endorsing Donald Trump deep fake photo.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But if he doesn't do it, then what deport him?
How's that for starters? Well, he is an American citizen.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Oh well he is now, Yeah, so I don't know
if you can deport him.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
Well, I was just throwing an idea out there. But
I don't think most people understand what a Pandora, not
just a Pandora's box, a Pandora's toilet, is opening up
with the abuses of AI and so I keep on saying,
we need to regulate this stuff into oblivion at the
point where it destabilizes our country and our politics, we
(23:58):
need to do something. And you know, maybe this is
a drop in the ocean. We'll find out.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Well, it has successfully.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Delegitimized in some people's eyes, news reporting as we've known it.
In some people's eyes, I think it has undone our
confidence and information that we see. You you always have
to ask yourself, now, is that real? Is that deep?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Fake?
Speaker 8 (24:23):
Is that That's exactly what the bad actors want. They
want us not to be able to count on anything
or trust anyone. So that's why we need to clamp
down on this stuff hard. And now, well the.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Clamping down, Governor Newsom is clamping down.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
But it's almost like that that that game where you
try to clamp down on the stuffed animal, and if
you don't have a real good clamp, it doesn't really
do anything. You're not gonna get the stuffed animal. You're
gonna keep putting money in that machine. You're gonna keep losing,
and even though it may be well intentioned, the clamp
is not effective. That's the only analogy I can think
of that's a splendid analogy. I'm kind of fixed on this.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
If you could use more carnival machinery in your analogies henceforth, yeah,
I think it would be hooviy oh callback, Come on,
come on, let's have one. No, that was a nice callback.
It wasn't the first one of the night. But do
you not agree though that at the very least, well,
look a look at it this way, let me backtrack.
Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, he has been identified
(25:24):
in studies as one of the greatest spreaders of disinformation
in the country. And that's in addition to him replatforming
Nazis and all that other stuff. Well, he has his
own platform.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
That's that's why he has that ability, because he gets
to say what he wants to say to the largest
amount of people, and he gets to say which stays
on his platform.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Right, But the United States has all sorts of limits
on free expression if it damages other people, and this,
to me falls into that category.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Well, I agree with you that just because what we
may do is insufficient, that is not reason enough to
do nothing, and that's not reason enough to not do more.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I know, double triple negative.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
That was a zen coanner, But you understood I sort
of did, Master Poe.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Well, you know, look, just because it's difficult doesn't mean
that we shouldn't do it, correct, Yeah, I totally agree.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
But as far as what's going to be enough, I mean,
one thing that I want to make clear is the
people who complain about clamping down on disinformation, those are
bad guys. They want the disinformation. Yes it's disinformation. You
really have to twist yourself into a pretzel to count
disinformation as free speech.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Ah. But see, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
We live in a time now, and we can blame
whomever or whatever, but we live in a time now
where people are not interested by large in truth and
facts and information. They would rather have the affirmation and
those things which reinforce their worldview. They don't even need
to be true. We can point to what is going
(27:04):
on in Springfield, Ohio. It's not true. It's been confirmed
that it's not true, and people are still leading into
the idea of Haitian migrants eating people's pets because it's
what they want to hear and what they want to believe.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Well, honestly, who doesn't enjoy a little labrador Now and
then it's later with mo Kelly k IF, I am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and we're going
to tell you about the best airports in North America,
the mega airports, the large sized airports, and the midsized airports,
and let's see if.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Any of them are from California.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Very quickly we were over last segment because Mark Ronald
was running his mouth.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
It's all his fault. JD. Power love blaming you.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I love you.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Love to wait till I'm absorbed in something, and then
and then you like to say something that's gonna make
me not just do a double take, but a Milton
Burle triple take.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You're really dating yourself with Milton burn Uncle Milty. Was
he slapped? JD.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Power has the twenty twenty four North America Airport Satisfaction Study,
which is overall customer Satisfaction Index ranking. Can't get into
deep with it, but I can tell you as far
as the mega airports, I'll just read these to you.
Coming in at number ten is Boston Logan. Number nine
(28:26):
is Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport. Number eight is Orlando,
Number seven is San Francisco. Number six is Harry Reid,
which is Las Vegas. Number five is Dallas Fort Worth.
This is again overall customer satisfaction among mega at airports.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Number four JFK in New York. Really, I don't know
about that. Number three Phoenix Sky Harbor. That's a nice one.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Number two Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. Haven't been there
in decades, couldn't tell you. And number one overall customer
Satisfaction Index rating according to JD Power twenty twenty four
North America Airport Satisfaction Study, Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport. Now,
if I could just find a reason to eat to
go to Minnesota again, I've only been once in my
(29:20):
life and I can't find another reason to go, then
maybe that might be a good reason to go, just
for the airport.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
For Large Airports.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Twenty twenty four North America Airport Satisfaction Study, coming in.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Number ten San Jose, do you know the way?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Number nine Salt Lake City International Airport haven't been there.
Number eight Portland, Yeah, that's that sounds right. That's a
good airport. Number seven Sacramento, Yeah, I could see that.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Number six Hobby. Is that Houston? What is it? William
William P. Hobby Airport? I think that's Houston. Oh, I
don't know that one. Yeah, a Hobby International.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I think I'm pretty sure it's Houston number five, Nashville
number four, Dallas love Field, yes, yeah, like that airport
a lot number three, Kansas City International, number two, Tampa International,
and number one. And this deserves the Olympic March is
(30:25):
very important. The number one North American airport overall customer
Customer Satisfaction Index ranking is John Wayne Airport in Orange County,
(30:47):
number one of large airports in the country according to
Overall Customer Satisfaction Medium airports got a little more time.
I'll just tell you very quickly, there's no one. Oh yeah,
A Burbank Airport is number fifteen. That's the only one
from California. No, no, I'll take that back. And Ontario
(31:10):
International Airport is number four. The Burbank Airport rules. It's great.
I just can't ever find a flight that I need
out of Burbank.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
In fact, it rules so much that I hesitate to
talk about it on the air because.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I don't want to ruin. Oh no, no, no, everyone knows
about it.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
You just have to be able to find a good
reason and a good flight out of there. I think
it's like only like two or three airlines fly out
of there. But it's it's a great airport. You know,
you have to get used to kind of getting off
the plane at the back and walking to the terminal.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
But other than that, it's great. It's like the good
old days.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
Yeah, it's like the nineteen sixties when men wore suits
and fedoras on the plane.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I know those have something else. People dressed up to
fly though.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Actually, the worst experience I've ever had on a flight
and landing was at Burbank A flying southward US coming
in I think from Yeah, I was coming in from
Las Vegas, and it was clear that the pilot overshot
the runway or landed a little too late, and I
could have sworn we were swerving left and right. I
(32:14):
thought we were gonna skin right on the Hollywood Way.
Oh no, you can tell.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Everyone was like.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
It was one of the few moments where I thought, Okay,
we're done, you know, close up shot, turn out the lights.
We're gonna end up at a fireball and they'll have
to bring out the fire trucks and I would end
up on the six o'clock news.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Well, I already hated flying.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Oh, I tell people all the time, I'm not a
nervous flyer, but I'm not a comfortable flyer, not in
the least, not in the least.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
No. No, I gripped the seats on the plane like
I'm at the dentist's office.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I do too, And it's just okay, it's just four
hours or five hours or whatever. Let's just get through this,
you know, and go on with our lives, hopefully. And
I just try to and I say a prayer each
and every time that I get on the plane. It's like,
if this is gonna be the one, let me just
die in peace, let me just you know, release it
and be as calm as possible, because I think that's
(33:08):
the worst way to go.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Oh yeah, on the.
Speaker 8 (33:10):
Rare, rare occasion when I get bumped up to first class,
which honestly doesn't happen that often, I'll take two of
everything before we get going.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I haven't had to do that too much the f
only because a lot of my flights were in the
morning and I'm not going to drink in the morning.
But if it's like an evening flight or red eye,
oh I'll toss them back. Get that single malt over here,
that's right, Because if something happens, there's nothing I can do.
I might as well be somewhat calm in the moment, somewhat.
Speaker 8 (33:35):
Oh yeah, because this has been proven in traffic accidents
as well, when when you're all loose like that, you're
much less likely to suffer a serious injury. I mean,
of course you're gonna get vaporized to your plan. I
don't think it's gonna make any difference if I'm up
tight or loose. But you know, I'm just trying to
justify getting it floated before the plane takes off.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
It's laded with Mokelly can't buy absins forty with Live Everywhere,

App k f I is literally the KFI up T
talk radio Okay, s I N K O S T
h D two Los Angeles, Orange County lives everywhere on
the radio
It's later with bo Kelly can't I am six forty.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And I gotta
tell you, as a lifelong Dodger fan, today has been
something special. My earliest memories of falling in love with
professional sports are inextricably linked to all things Dodgers. My
(00:44):
dad's sending me down explaining the rules of the game,
telling me about the glorious history of Dodger baseball, the
greats from Sandy Kofax, Roy Campanella, Duke Snyder on down
the line, and I remember growing up, It's like, why
is it the Dodgers had never had I was thinking
(01:06):
of this as a child because I was a stat
nerd and geek back then. Why the Dodgers never had
a great home run hitter the likes of a Babe
Ruth or a Roger Maris, someone who had hit at
least fifty home runs. Nobody had hit fifty home runs
for the Dodgers. Duke Snyder was the closest, but no
one wearing Dodger blue could hit fifty home runs. And
(01:31):
as I got older, I understood the intricacies and the
nuances of the game. Dodgers Stadium was not a hitters ballpark,
but it was a pitchers ballpark. It was better for
pitchers than it was hitters, and it was less likely
that someone playing for the Dodgers was ever going to
hit fifty home runs. That's just fifty home runs. That
(01:53):
has nothing to do with fifty stolen bases. Now, the
Dodgers have had some great base dealers over the years.
I remember Davey Lopes one of my favorite players. It
was Maury Wills and others. Dodgers had some speedsters on
the bass paths, but they'd never had someone like show
Hey Otani who had power and speed and could do
(02:17):
it all basically. And when Sho hal Tani came into
Major League Baseball playing for the Angels, it was unheard
of someone who was going to be a position player
and a pitcher. Now there might have been players who
had the ability, but it wasn't done in Major League Baseball.
You did one, or you did the other, or in
(02:38):
an emergency situation, they would use a position player to
fill in as a pitcher at the end of the
game because they had run out of pitchers. You see
it today all the time, but nobody has ever played
the game like sho hal Tani. In the modern version
of baseball, of course, they are players like Babe Ruth,
who is a pitcher as well as a hitter, but
(03:00):
that's not considered the modern version of baseball.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
In today's game.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And sho hel Tani was, the discussion was whether he
might be able to be the first player in Major
League baseball history to hit fifty home runs and swap
excuse me, steal fifty bases in the same season. Now
each feat singularly is pretty damn impressive. You have fifty
(03:28):
home runs in one season, steal fifty bases in one season.
And the game has evolved where it's not like it
used to be in the seventies and eighties, when you
had like Ricky Henderson and the goal was to maybe bunt,
hit a single and then steal second. Maybe a fields
choice gets you a third, and then a fly ball
(03:49):
sacrifice fly would get you home. Now the game has changed.
It's all about the long ball, so stolen bases were
less of a focus in the past ten twenty years
in Major League baseball. But then you have these generational
talents like shoe Heo Tani, who basically said no, what no,
I'm going to be I'm going to be adapted home
(04:11):
runs and stolen bases. And today we're in the same
building as a five seventy LA Sports, our partner station,
and so we were following this as it was happening,
getting the Dodgers feed. We could hear it in the hallways,
and all of a sudden, the place just erupted because
it wasn't thought that sho Hao Tani was going to
(04:33):
get fifty home runs and fifty stolen bases, if at
all he wasn't going to do it in this game
against the Miami Marlins. He was going to get it
maybe or hopefully, actually you want to do it in
front of the home fans, but.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Sho Hey couldn't wait.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
And there was this moment and people just shrieked with glee.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
One ball, two strikes, runner at third, two outs, and
the pitch counting to show hey, ol Tani, Hey swings
hits a drive to lap.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
This ball's back there.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
It is fifty, the first player in my history of
Major League Baseball to have a fifty to fifty season.
He is incredible. Show hey, old Tony with an opposite
field home run fifty fifty one a day for shaw Hey.
(05:26):
He is the new all time single season home runs
leader for the Dodgers, in the first ever Dodger with
a fifty home run season. Show Hey, oh, Tani is incredible.
He is one of a kind.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
The only difference is when I was growing up, I
was listening to Vince Scully and there's no one like
Vince Scully. So I'm not going to compare anyone to
vin Scully. But I know in a moment like this,
Vincent Scully would have let the crowd tell the story.
Vince Gully would have said fewer words, not more. But
(06:08):
that's just my personal preference. It still was a tremendous moment.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Standing ovation everywhere. He's barely made it through the dugout,
yet with all the congratulations he's getting that ball went
over the left field fence to the right of the bullpens.
Somebody's got it out there.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
They're going to hold up the game.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Best Rick Monday fifty fifty. Did you ever think you'd
see this from one player? Holy smokes. And by the way,
it's fourteen to three and show Hey comes out for
a curtain call first time this year and the game
(06:53):
being held up everybody, Marlin's fans, Dodgers fans, witnessing history here.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And the strange thing was one of the many strange
things that wasn't I would say the apex of the day.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
He hit another home run after that for number fifty one.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
In fact, he's at fifty one home runs, fifty one
stolen bases. And there's enough time left in the season
now where the real conversation has already begun whether he
could be a fifty five fifty five player, fifty five
home runs, fifty five stolen bases. It was baseball history,
it was American history, it was Dodger history all wrapped
(07:33):
up in one moment today. And if you are a
baseball fan, if you are a Dodger fan, this was
a tremendous moment in franchise history and also fandom history.
Congratulations to the Dodgers and Shohil Tani. Now just bring
home a world serious please, That's all I ask. It's
Later with mo Kelly. Can if I am six forty
(07:54):
one live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFIM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Last school term, I would say most universities got it wrong.
They did not know how to handle the gods of
protests or the retalite retaliation to the protest. They didn't
know how to handle the encampments. They didn't understand how
to navigate the free speech debate on a private campus.
(08:24):
And for the most part, most of the universities messed
it up. They escalated the situation or they made it
into a situation that they could not handle. Law enforcement
was called in sometimes or for some with a heavy
handed response. For others, they thought that law enforcement was
(08:44):
too patient and allowed the encampments to remain for too long.
And then it got a number of universities realizing that
there had to be a policy in place as far
as what the university response would be, what the discipline
for students who violate the policy would be, how professors
(09:06):
and university staff are supposed to comport themselves, whether they're
going to be allowed to participate in the protests. All
of that needs to be made clear up front. Because
the war in the Middle East is expanding, school is
now back in session and they're most likely will be
(09:27):
more student protests this year. Stanford said, well, let's get
out in front of this, and this is what Stanford
has chosen to do.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Stanford University is welcoming students back to campus.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
With the start of the school year comes.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
New and clear rules on speech and events. Last spring,
pro Palestinian encampments went up sporadically amid the Israel Hamas War.
The contentious time led to student arrests, barricades, and graffiti
on several buildings. On Tuesday, Stanford released what are called
all the Freedom of Expression policies. Unauthorized tends will be prohibited.
(10:05):
Students concealing their face maybe asked to identify themselves by
a university official. In a video, the provost explains other
disruption policies.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
A provocative poster may be okay in some places around campus,
but not placed on the personal residence store of an
individual targeted by that speech.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
White Plaza has long served as a place for student gatherings.
This is where we saw the encampments set up. Stanford's
new president is vowing to enforce the no camping policy,
which was already in place last term.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
This is the problem with how colleges and universities have
approached the challenges of policing free expression to the extent
they are allowed to. Is that it's inconsistently enforced. So
what you get are double standards.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Nico Pirino is with.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
No, I disagree with that. It's not that it's inconsistently enforced.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
It's just that there was no established and public policy
and guidelines for both students and faculty to follow. If
everyone knows what the rules are when you violate them,
and you know the penalty, then you can handle it accordingly.
You don't have to agree with the protesters, you don't
have to agree with anything, you don't have to even
(11:14):
take a side in any issue. And if you look
deeper into the Stanford policy, they're saying that the school,
the administration, the university is not going to take any
sides and future disagreements. That's fine, so long as everyone
knows that's the expectation.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
And this is what people forget.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Free speech has nothing to do with what you can
do or allowed to do on a college campus. It
is a private When I say private, in other words,
it's not like a public space. You know, these universities
to have money from outside private interests. You can't just
camp there, you can't set up shop there, you can't
(11:55):
do what you want when you want, because you happen
to pay tuition there.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
It's really simple.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
But I think they gave the students too much latitude
with the encampments. Now there was a place and space
they could have had a respectful debate about it. But
when the encamps when the encampments popped up, and they
did not do anything about them, then they were forced
into a position where you can't remove them now because
you let them stay for a week. Now they're saying
(12:24):
that they're not going to let them stay at all.
Regardless of whether you agree with the issue or disagree
with how Israel is handling the fighting in the Middle East,
how you protest is separate and distinct from that, And
if you are willing to lose your college education, then
(12:46):
do you. But you don't have a constitutional right to
set up a camp. You don't have a constitutional right
to disrupt classes. You don't have a constitutional right to
be heard on an issue in a way that you
think you should be heard, be that barricading.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
A mess hall.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Or a classroom, or forcing an administration to listen to
your demands, or even making those demands. You can try,
but you don't have a constitutional right now where it
goes from here is you will find different universities having
I think the wherewithal to have these policies in place,
because there will be more protests this year now that
(13:31):
it may not be before the Christmas holidays. It depends
if something happens again in the near future. We know
that the one year commemoration, not to be confused with
an anniversary, but the commemoration of the Hamas attacks of
October seventh are coming up soon and you may see
some activity then. But it would behoove these universities, these
(13:52):
colleges to have a plan in place in advance of
future encampments so they don't make the same I would
say mistakes this time around.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I love looking at the face of Mark Ronner.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
You just said the word behoove, which officially marks you
as a member of the authority figure class.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
It would behoof of them. Yes, yes, Look, I.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Am going to side with the administration in the sense
that when I say administration, university administration.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
They have to protect their interests.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
They have to protect their campus, they have to protect
the students which are on campus, they have to protect
their endowment. All those things are part of the equation.
Of how they have to manage these protests, and by
and large they mess them up. It's not about whether
you agree with them, it's about how I thought they
were shortsighted in how they should handle them. And also
(14:46):
I had a criticism of those who were protesting because
they were protesting with no real, realizable goal, no real
method of obtaining that goal, and simply camping out on
the universe lawn was not going to bring about the
desired change. It was not going to change US foreign
policy in the Middle East.
Speaker 8 (15:06):
Well, didn't they get some changes that they wanted at
assorted campuses, which largely consisted of the universities divesting from
investments that the students found effective.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I think Occidental said something to the effect of, we
will bring in the students and hear their concerns or
give them, I don't know, some lip services, something something
something I don't know if by and large any universities divested.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
You know, it makes me think of like what would
you and I have done if we were college aged
during Vietnam, because there were protests everywhere.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Then.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
You ever see an old Elliott Gould movie called Getting Straight,
where he's a grad student amid all the campus protests.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I think I saw, but I wouldn't remember.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
It's a terrific movie and if you can find it
streaming online, it is well worth your time to watch.
The guy basically just wants to get his dissertation and
defend his dissertation done and be above the fray, and
he finds out the lesson that we all learned sooner
or late in life, which is that you're in the fight,
whether you think you are or not. It's very worth watching,
and I think it has lessons that you could apply
(16:06):
to this situation.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I agree there are some fights that you cannot avoid,
But just because you can't avoid a fight, it doesn't
mean that you shouldn't have a strategy going into the fight.
Just because you may, in your mind at least feel
that you have the moral authority in the stance that
you're taking, it does not mean that the steps that
you're employing, the tactics that you're using, are either going
(16:29):
to get you closer to that goal, or are going
to engender any support from those outside.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Of your ranks.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Of course not, but can you think of any time
when everybody approved the methods of someone's protest.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It just doesn't exist. It's always going to make somebody angry.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
No, no, no, Well, there's a difference between making someone angry,
well you know what, and also being effective as far
as getting you to your eventual goal. And I always
use the Civil rights movement as an example. Yes, the
marches were going to make people angry in the nineteen sixties,
but also the marches were away to see how nonviolence
(17:06):
retained the moral authority in the ask for the passage
of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
Now from attack from a tactics standpoint, you could say
you should not have done nonviolence. Violence was being perpetrated
against black people. You should have responded with violence, but
you would have not received the ground swell of support
(17:29):
from those around the country outside the African American community
if violence was employed. And that's why doctor King said,
we must retain the moral authority in our tactics in
how we approach this and how we pursue it.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
And he was brilliant for that. Protests are always supposed
to be disruptive, though, and having covered them riots as
well as protests as well as the police response, it's
kind of a it's a nuanced issue because nobody neither
side behaves as well as you would like them to behave.
So there's always some jerk and jerk contingent among the
(18:05):
protesters who's going to smash a Starbucks window and give
the whole movement a bad name. And there's always going
to be and I say this as somebody who's been
shot with more rubber bullets than any reporter. You know,
there's always going to be police who overreact with the force.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, but this is a very important distinction. It's not
about protesting whether you piss people off. It's not about
whether someone likes the method of protests. It's about whether
protests helps you get closer to that goal, assuming you
have a state of goal, or whether it gets in
the way you and people lose sight of the goal
because the protest itself has turned off so many people
(18:38):
that it becomes ineffective. Now, Doctor King also said that
the riot is the language of the unheard. He acknowledged
that many ways that the riot can bring about change
in the ways that sometimes diplomacy my word can't.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
I know, we're over. But this was very important.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
If you go back to the assassination of doctor King,
it was because of the assassination of doctor King in
nineteen sixty eight and the riots which happened immediately thereafter.
That Congress felt compelled to pass and Johnson's sign the
Fair Housing Act because they thought that the country could
not continue on that path. And it was it was
(19:16):
a moment of urgency with the murder and assassination of
King and those riots, it had to be done. So, yes,
it's a complicated issue, and there's not one size that
fits all, and there's not one way that's going to
bring about change.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
But all these things have to be mindful.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
You have to be mindful of all these things as
you're pursuing these protests.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I wanted you to use the word behoove again and
you didn't.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Well, it would behoove you not to mock me or
I will yes Yes Later with mo Kelly I AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
We're live everywhere near I Heart Radio app.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
And you've probably heard me and Mark Ronner go back
and forth about digital misinformation disinformation AI deep fakes and
how that could have a disproportionate impact on this presidential election.
Any election for that matter, or just how we may
(20:13):
receive news or perceive what is the truth or facts
in our day to day world. And Governor Gavin Newsom
earlier this week signed three different bills into law regarding
AI and deep fakes. The first one is going to
ban digitally altered political deep fakes. The second one that
(20:37):
he signed targets deep fakes by compelling platforms to pull
down such content when users flag them, but that bill
won't take effect into until next year. And he signed
a third measure requiring disclaimers on political ads that use AI.
But the first and arguably the most important one, which
(21:00):
bands digitally altered political deep fakes, will take place and
going to effect before this November election. And in a
bit of political theater, he signed them publicly as part
of a conversation with Salesforce CEO Mark Vidioff. He had
(21:21):
the bills on his lap, was it even a desk
or a table was on his lap and he signed
them in his lap in front of an audience.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Here's some of that audio.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
HEYI I was.
Speaker 9 (21:31):
Just exploded in our consciousness. You know, I'm not lost
on being at thirty two of the top fifty AI
companies at least market CAPRAOL here in California, truly trust
the stress, anxiety, promise perrol. All of it just sort
of dominating our consciousness.
Speaker 10 (21:48):
And right now for me, I got nine and eighty
one bills on my desk, and about thirty eight of
them are.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
In this space.
Speaker 10 (21:57):
There are a lot of defects out there. There's not
a lot of this closure, there's not a lot of label.
So among the many AI bills that are on the
desk are three specific election related bills.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You know, I want to sign some lawns.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
And I don't remember I did start.
Speaker 10 (22:14):
You know, why waste your time of the politician unless
they're going to do something for you.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Two are signed and them three are sign and this
is now.
Speaker 10 (22:24):
I'm official. That is now and jumped and belief if
you do any of those deep fake election misrepresentations. So
that's how easy it is to govern.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
And governing is one thing, but the actual practical application
of the laws that remains to be seen. I don't
know how impactful, how effective it would be, given the
proliferation of deep fakes on all social media platforms. Yes,
I can point to X, but I can also point
to TikTok. I can point to Facebook. I can definitely
(22:56):
point to Instagram. I don't know the starting point. It's
one thing where you have this legislation where it says
that you're supposed to pull it down if it's confirmed
that it's misinformation. But who's actually going to enforce that.
What's the enforcement mechanism. That's what I don't understand. And
that's what I don't know's it's one thing you're gonna say, hey,
(23:16):
Elon Musk, you have to take down that Taylor Swift
endorsing Donald Trump deep fake photo.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But if he doesn't do it, then what deport him?
How's that for starters? Well, he is an American citizen.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Oh well he is now, Yeah, so I don't know
if you can deport him.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
Well, I was just throwing an idea out there. But
I don't think most people understand what a Pandora, not
just a Pandora's box, a Pandora's toilet, is opening up
with the abuses of AI and so I keep on saying,
we need to regulate this stuff into oblivion at the
point where it destabilizes our country and our politics, we
(23:58):
need to do something. And you know, maybe this is
a drop in the ocean. We'll find out.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Well, it has successfully.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Delegitimized in some people's eyes, news reporting as we've known it.
In some people's eyes, I think it has undone our
confidence and information that we see. You you always have
to ask yourself, now, is that real? Is that deep?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Fake?
Speaker 8 (24:23):
Is that That's exactly what the bad actors want. They
want us not to be able to count on anything
or trust anyone. So that's why we need to clamp
down on this stuff hard. And now, well the.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Clamping down, Governor Newsom is clamping down.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
But it's almost like that that that game where you
try to clamp down on the stuffed animal, and if
you don't have a real good clamp, it doesn't really
do anything. You're not gonna get the stuffed animal. You're
gonna keep putting money in that machine. You're gonna keep losing,
and even though it may be well intentioned, the clamp
is not effective. That's the only analogy I can think
of that's a splendid analogy. I'm kind of fixed on this.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
If you could use more carnival machinery in your analogies henceforth, yeah,
I think it would be hooviy oh callback, Come on,
come on, let's have one. No, that was a nice callback.
It wasn't the first one of the night. But do
you not agree though that at the very least, well,
look a look at it this way, let me backtrack.
Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, he has been identified
(25:24):
in studies as one of the greatest spreaders of disinformation
in the country. And that's in addition to him replatforming
Nazis and all that other stuff. Well, he has his
own platform.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
That's that's why he has that ability, because he gets
to say what he wants to say to the largest
amount of people, and he gets to say which stays
on his platform.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Right, But the United States has all sorts of limits
on free expression if it damages other people, and this,
to me falls into that category.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Well, I agree with you that just because what we
may do is insufficient, that is not reason enough to
do nothing, and that's not reason enough to not do more.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I know, double triple negative.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
That was a zen coanner, But you understood I sort
of did, Master Poe.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Well, you know, look, just because it's difficult doesn't mean
that we shouldn't do it, correct, Yeah, I totally agree.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
But as far as what's going to be enough, I mean,
one thing that I want to make clear is the
people who complain about clamping down on disinformation, those are
bad guys. They want the disinformation. Yes it's disinformation. You
really have to twist yourself into a pretzel to count
disinformation as free speech.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Ah. But see, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
We live in a time now, and we can blame
whomever or whatever, but we live in a time now
where people are not interested by large in truth and
facts and information. They would rather have the affirmation and
those things which reinforce their worldview. They don't even need
to be true. We can point to what is going
(27:04):
on in Springfield, Ohio. It's not true. It's been confirmed
that it's not true, and people are still leading into
the idea of Haitian migrants eating people's pets because it's
what they want to hear and what they want to believe.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Well, honestly, who doesn't enjoy a little labrador Now and
then it's later with mo Kelly k IF, I am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and we're going
to tell you about the best airports in North America,
the mega airports, the large sized airports, and the midsized airports,
and let's see if.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Any of them are from California.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Very quickly we were over last segment because Mark Ronald
was running his mouth.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
It's all his fault. JD. Power love blaming you.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I love you.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Love to wait till I'm absorbed in something, and then
and then you like to say something that's gonna make
me not just do a double take, but a Milton
Burle triple take.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You're really dating yourself with Milton burn Uncle Milty. Was
he slapped? JD.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Power has the twenty twenty four North America Airport Satisfaction Study,
which is overall customer Satisfaction Index ranking. Can't get into
deep with it, but I can tell you as far
as the mega airports, I'll just read these to you.
Coming in at number ten is Boston Logan. Number nine
(28:26):
is Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport. Number eight is Orlando,
Number seven is San Francisco. Number six is Harry Reid,
which is Las Vegas. Number five is Dallas Fort Worth.
This is again overall customer satisfaction among mega at airports.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Number four JFK in New York. Really, I don't know
about that. Number three Phoenix Sky Harbor. That's a nice one.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Number two Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. Haven't been there
in decades, couldn't tell you. And number one overall customer
Satisfaction Index rating according to JD Power twenty twenty four
North America Airport Satisfaction Study, Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport. Now,
if I could just find a reason to eat to
go to Minnesota again, I've only been once in my
(29:20):
life and I can't find another reason to go, then
maybe that might be a good reason to go, just
for the airport.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
For Large Airports.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Twenty twenty four North America Airport Satisfaction Study, coming in.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Number ten San Jose, do you know the way?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Number nine Salt Lake City International Airport haven't been there.
Number eight Portland, Yeah, that's that sounds right. That's a
good airport. Number seven Sacramento, Yeah, I could see that.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Number six Hobby. Is that Houston? What is it? William
William P. Hobby Airport? I think that's Houston. Oh, I
don't know that one. Yeah, a Hobby International.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I think I'm pretty sure it's Houston number five, Nashville
number four, Dallas love Field, yes, yeah, like that airport
a lot number three, Kansas City International, number two, Tampa International,
and number one. And this deserves the Olympic March is
(30:25):
very important. The number one North American airport overall customer
Customer Satisfaction Index ranking is John Wayne Airport in Orange County,
(30:47):
number one of large airports in the country according to
Overall Customer Satisfaction Medium airports got a little more time.
I'll just tell you very quickly, there's no one. Oh yeah,
A Burbank Airport is number fifteen. That's the only one
from California. No, no, I'll take that back. And Ontario
(31:10):
International Airport is number four. The Burbank Airport rules. It's great.
I just can't ever find a flight that I need
out of Burbank.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
In fact, it rules so much that I hesitate to
talk about it on the air because.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I don't want to ruin. Oh no, no, no, everyone knows
about it.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
You just have to be able to find a good
reason and a good flight out of there. I think
it's like only like two or three airlines fly out
of there. But it's it's a great airport. You know,
you have to get used to kind of getting off
the plane at the back and walking to the terminal.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
But other than that, it's great. It's like the good
old days.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
Yeah, it's like the nineteen sixties when men wore suits
and fedoras on the plane.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I know those have something else. People dressed up to
fly though.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Actually, the worst experience I've ever had on a flight
and landing was at Burbank A flying southward US coming
in I think from Yeah, I was coming in from
Las Vegas, and it was clear that the pilot overshot
the runway or landed a little too late, and I
could have sworn we were swerving left and right. I
(32:14):
thought we were gonna skin right on the Hollywood Way.
Oh no, you can tell.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Everyone was like.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
It was one of the few moments where I thought, Okay,
we're done, you know, close up shot, turn out the lights.
We're gonna end up at a fireball and they'll have
to bring out the fire trucks and I would end
up on the six o'clock news.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Well, I already hated flying.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Oh, I tell people all the time, I'm not a
nervous flyer, but I'm not a comfortable flyer, not in
the least, not in the least.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
No. No, I gripped the seats on the plane like
I'm at the dentist's office.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I do too, And it's just okay, it's just four
hours or five hours or whatever. Let's just get through this,
you know, and go on with our lives, hopefully. And
I just try to and I say a prayer each
and every time that I get on the plane. It's like,
if this is gonna be the one, let me just
die in peace, let me just you know, release it
and be as calm as possible, because I think that's
(33:08):
the worst way to go.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Oh yeah, on the.
Speaker 8 (33:10):
Rare, rare occasion when I get bumped up to first class,
which honestly doesn't happen that often, I'll take two of
everything before we get going.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I haven't had to do that too much the f
only because a lot of my flights were in the
morning and I'm not going to drink in the morning.
But if it's like an evening flight or red eye,
oh I'll toss them back. Get that single malt over here,
that's right, Because if something happens, there's nothing I can do.
I might as well be somewhat calm in the moment, somewhat.
Speaker 8 (33:35):
Oh yeah, because this has been proven in traffic accidents
as well, when when you're all loose like that, you're
much less likely to suffer a serious injury. I mean,
of course you're gonna get vaporized to your plan. I
don't think it's gonna make any difference if I'm up
tight or loose. But you know, I'm just trying to
justify getting it floated before the plane takes off.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
That's all.
